Researching on the Mode of Selecting Key Village in Administrative Villages

The scientific and rational choice of the key village is the “bottleneck” in the planning and construction of new countryside and a key starting point in the urban-rural integration. The existing situation is that its geographical scope is not clear and the method of selecting it is high artificial, lack of quantitative indicators and scientific analyses. In this article, we take them as theoretical bases some basic principles of selecting the key villages site in administrative villages and the spatial interaction gravitational model, and as practical bases selecting the key villages of 98 administrative villages in Xiaogan, China. By the method of a combination of restriction analysis, calculation of attractive force, comparative analysis and public consultation, we put forward the general process and the 3343 mode: three principles, three factors, four types of key villages and three steps.
